It's a pleasure to welcome Ivan Greilich to the Potter's Lounge stage! This Traverse City native has a long, rich musical history. He began on drums at the tender age of 5, then moved on to guitar, piano, and the Hammond B3. Raised in a 'music loving' home - it groomed him for a music career which began at age 15. He has performed in 'The Biggs,' 'The Heaters,' 'Red House,' - and most notably, he was lead guitarist for Rare Earth Band from 2004-2009, (replacing lead guitarist Ray Monette). Rare Earth was the first big hit-making act signed by Motown, and produced many top-40 songs we still love today. Ivan has shared the stage with The Steve Miller Band, Edgar Winter Group, Mitch Rider, and many more. Expect a broad mix of R&B, blues, rock, and more from this talented guitarist and vocalist.
